I don't typically put much thought into chain scoring or scoring in beat 'em ups at all, but this one got me hooked on trying to go higher! And it's a free browser game! From the creator of Fight'N Rage.

Really impressive PICO-8 graphics, too!

Not sure if it’s a rpg, but into the breach is definitely my favorite turn based game

Pikuniku is 7 years old!

there's basically two ways to create shareholder value

1 - make good stuff people want

2 - fire everyone who knows what they're doing even if the doors fly off your airplanes and make up some wild shit about how autocorrect is going to make it all better eventually

we are unfortunately in era 2

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

You will not survive Baby Steps' open world, but you'll laugh QWOP goes open world in 2025's funniest game

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

Better in movement

Announcing our new Pico-8 residency game, Lemon Shark by @gleeson.dev !

Lemon Shark is a turn-based play on Pac Man where the ghosts can only move when you do, plus some other fun twists

Come play it in the arcade today!!

One of the best game I ever played

What I mean , it’s the production constraints help sometimes to take a decision. But I love both .

3d games are much more complex ( lighting , textures , shaders,3d models, controls , camera ) etc….

It’s the last day to submit games to our Pico-8 arcade cabinet residency! Submit your games here:
